Before Kufunda there was Grief.
In this episode, I share the tender origin pulse of Kufunda: How, in the year before my 30th birthday, I found myself often weeping for the way Africa was being portrayed: flattened into a single narrative of collapse and devastation.
That grief cracked something open in me - it became the gateway for a different choice: For a call to my friends to join me in Zimbabwe:To celebrate. To return. To make a different choice of embracing what is here with appreciation and love.
This is the story of how Kufunda began as a commitment to lift up what is beautiful, good and true - even in the midst of the breakdown.
May it offer you a doorway too.
And perhaps ask yourself: In the face of collapse that abounds around us, what else is true? What is alive but unseen? What might be waiting for you to remember it?
